Rockstar acquires studio founded by L.A. Noire director, upping manpower ahead of GTA 6 release

Ahead of the massive GTA 6 release, Rockstar Games has announced the acquisition of Video Games Deluxe, a Sydney-based games developer that has deep ties to the company

As the studio gears up for its largest release to date, and perhaps the biggest release in the history of the gaming industry, the publisher and developer are acquiring some extra manpower down under. Jennifer Kolbe, Rockstar’s head of publishing, announced the acquisition. “After working together closely over many years, we are excited to have Video Games Deluxe join the team as Rockstar Australia,” she said.
